Pole Exercise 2 DVD Review

In the Pole Exercise DVD 2, Lucy Misch once again does a fabulous job in the 2nd DVD of the Pole Exercise series! You can also check out my review of the first DVD in this series, Pole Exercise Beginner DVD.

What the Pole Exercise DVD 2 Teaches

Strength Training

Again, as in DVD 1 she teaches the “Hang Tough” a great way
to start measuring your strength by how long you can hold yourself in position
on the pole. The “Pole Pull-Up”, “Pole Push Up”, the “Ab Pull Up” and more
exercises to build the strength of those pole muscles!

Spins and Skills

In this section, you will learn 5 moves, 2 of them
combination spins including “Swivel Hips”, something I am trying to get! I like
that she teaches this move from the ground first as well.

Poses and Inverts

In this section, you will learn 17 different moves including
the Jamilla into Extended Butterfly, Shoulder Mount Jacknife, the Pencil, Aysha,
Brass Monkey to Eros, and Daphne. There isn’t a whole lot of verbal instruction
but the moves are demonstrated simply and quickly and they are visually clear. This
section is definitely for those that can hold themselves up on the pole for 1-2
minutes, can climb and invert with ease.

Stretching

I love this section. Even though its only a little over 11
minutes long, she demonstrates 5 stages or levels of stretching: Less, Normal,
Instructor, Advanced and Ridiculous. The flexibility ability increases with
each level. I like that each stretch gives 5 different ways to keep getting
deeper into the stretch. Tips to get more flexible are included as well.

I like the Box Splits work, the Froggy splits, Bridge work
and especially the back stretching and flexibility section.

Routines

There are four routines that include moves you can learn
from the DVD. Each performer has a different dance style, from sizzling sexy
routine on a spinning pole to a great man’s routine and workout, a simple and sensual
routine and a routine that includes a great display of static advanced moves. I
especially like Jenny’s routine, the sexy spinning pole one!

There is also a section after each performance where it goes
over the steps to learning the each routine.

Extras

This section includes pole tips, cast biographies, and
teasers to the other DVDs that have been produced by Lucy Productions.

My Thoughts About the DVD

The Pole Exercise DVD 2 is definitely not a beginning pole dance student's DVD to follow, with the exception of the stretching part.

The teaching and instruction are not broken down enough for a beginner, but more for someone who has learned the fundamentals of pole already.

Overall, I like this DVD as it has a great selection of moves, tricks, spins and poses to learn from, many that can be combined into stunning routines. I will definitely be using this DVD in my training sessions at home!
